We look forward to seeing you through teletherapy. For your convenience and privacy, we will be using the therapy video platform Zoom.
This platform is easily accessed from any computer. You only need to click on the link provided in your appointment confirmation and you will be taken to the secure video session.
You will need to have a webcam and microphone and be ready to meet in a private space. The built-in camera on your computer or tablet is usually sufficient. If you will be accessing our session from a tablet or phone, a free app is required. Please take a moment to download it before the session. For any other questions or more information, you can find out more about the video platform here.
We look forward to supporting our clients in person, over the phone or remotely by teletherapy.
